present per the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) or Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) ESLs for residential uses, it shall be transported and disposed of per California Hazardous Waste Regulations to an appropriately permitted landfill. • A Health and Safety Plan (HSP) shall be prepared for each contractor that addresses potential safety and health hazards and includes the requirements and procedures for employee protection. The HSP shall also outline proper soil handling procedures and health and safety requirements to minimize worker and public exposure to hazardous materials during construction. • All SMP measures shall be printed on the construction documents, contracts, and Project plans prior to issuance of grading permits. 3.7 Land Use and Planning Summary of Impacts Identified in the EIR As discussed in Section 4.7, Land Use and Planning, of the DEIR, the Original Project would not conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation that was adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. The Original Project would be consistent with the SCAG Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy. Notably, the Original Project would implement many of the SCAG policies related to high-density, infill development, improvement of the job/housing balance, and use of green building measures, such as water efficiency and Low Impact Development (LID) features. Therefore, implementation of the Original Project would not result in conflict with SCAG policies, and the EIR determined that impacts would not occur. Regarding General Plan designations, the EIR described the Original Project as requiring a General Plan Land Use Amendment to change the land use designation from Professional & Administration Office (PAO) to District Center (DC) to allow for multi-family uses. The General Plan Land Use Element states that DC designation includes the major activity areas in the City and that District Centers are to be developed with an urban character. The proposed DC designation is consistent with the existing DC land uses to the north of Santiago Park and to the southwest across the I-5 freeway. Although the Original Project under the proposed DC designation would result in a different type and higher intensity of residential units than the adjacent LR-7 designated Park Santiago neighborhood area, the EIR determined that the Project would provide a transition through wall heights, open space courtyard locations, structures tiering down to 2- stories along the eastern side, and a 40-foot eastern setback; such that the taller multi-family structures, vehicle parking, and circulation are not sited adjacent to single-story single-family residences. The EIR also determined that the proposed land use designation change from PAO to DC would not conflict with a policy or plan adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. The Original Project was determined to be consistent with the relevant goals, policies, and objectives of the City’s General Plan that avoid or mitigate environmental impacts, and that impacts related to conflict with a General Plan policy related to an environmental effect would be less than significant. The Original Project also required an Amendment Application (zone change) to change the existing zoning designation change from P (Professional) to a Specific Development (SD) to implement the multi-family residential project. As required by the Zoning Code, the development plans would be reviewed by the City to ensure consistency with development standards. Additionally, the SD zoning designation would be consistent with the existing SD zoned areas to the north beyond Santiago Park and to the west across N. Main Street. Therefore, the EIR determined that implementation of the Original Project would not result in an impact related to conflict with a plan or policy adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect.
